THE New York Examiner, the able
Baptist organ, utters timely protest
against the delay of justice, in exc
cutting sentence on the notorious Jacob
Sharp, the convicted "boodler' of the
New York aldermen, and well says that
the matter is becoming scandalOus.
SIT is a ridiculous provision in our
law" it remarks, "that gives any Su-
preme Court the power to review the
proceedings before another judge of the
same court, and grant stay of pro-
ceedings even admit a convicted
felon to bail-prOvided judge can be
found who has doubt whether the
judgment will stand. If this power
were given to a full bench of the gen.
eral term, so as to prevent occasional
injustice that might arise from the
summary carrying out of sentence, it
might be wise. But the present prac-
tice is one of those features of our
criminal jurisprudence that make JUS
tice a by-word and a laughing stock
among the criminal classes" The same
policy is likely to prevail in Chicago, in
the case Of the convicted county COM
missioners. The men are convicted,
but pending the motion for a new trial,
sentence is not executed. Rich and in

THE Texas election, on Thursday of
last week, resulted il recording a very
large majority of the voters of the State,
as opposed to the constitutional amend
ment, declaring it unlawful to make,
buy or sell in that State, any spirituous
or fermented liquors, except for medi-
cal, scientific or sacramento purposes
The majority by which the amendment
was defeated is not yet accurately de-
termined, but it will probably exceed
100000. The result is a great dis
appointment to temperance people
throughout the country, who were led
to believe that prohibition had fight
ing chance for success in that State.
The fact is otherwise. The heavy ma
jOrity recorded against the amendment
is proof that the prohibitionists were
too sanguine, and were badly misled in
their calculations. The majority is de-
cisive-Texas cannot soon be won for
prohibition. Indeed, it is very doubt
full if any of the Southern States will
vote for prohibition as State measure.
There is no good reason to believe that
the result in Tennessee or Mississippi
next autumn, when the matter comes
before the people for decision, will show
any different result. The principle of
prohibition, in county local option, is
quite successful in several of the South
ern States. This is about as far as the
reform can obtain at present.

AN interesting discourse upon 1.-THE
Power of Sympathy" was delivered on
Sunday morning, in the Church Of the
Redeemer, by Rev. E. W. Whitney, of
Cincinnati. The power Of sympathy
in reforming the world was stated. In
the hearts of the worst men there were
elements of nobility and goodness.
Sympathy would touch the human
heart, and restore and reclaim. 1t was
not lacking in times of great need, but
it is wanted in everyday life, to soften
and purify all humanity. So ran the
thought of the helpful and profitable
discourse.
